"My business income tripled."

That’s the real-world feedback from Domingo Delizo, a business owner from Pandi, Bulacan, during the Toyota Tamaraw Roadshow in Marilao.

He joined Coco Martin (a proud Tamaraw owner himself!) and other Bulakeño entrepreneurs to celebrate the vehicle that’s driving their success. Even Coco admits: "I asked myself, 'why is the clutch so soft and there is so much power?'"

From tripled incomes to smoother rides, the Next-Gen Tamaraw is proving to be the ultimate business partner.

"I don't settle for 'this is okay.'"

Coco Martin gets real about why he chose the Next-Gen Toyota Tamaraw as his personal workhorse. For him, a vehicle represents the owner—so if your ride is "just okay," people might think you are too.

That's why he spruced his up with mags and keeps it pristine for his business with Julia Montes.

"The ones who thought of the Tamaraw are geniuses," he says. Powerful, fuel-efficient, and proudly adaptable to every Filipino need.
